    I feel like this spot is a bit underrated. The food is tasty, the variety is limited, but it makes sense since it seems to have a smaller kitchen. Staff is always on top of making sure your needs are taken care of. The space itself is very trendy, easuly can forget you're nearing the rougher end of Westheimer and traveling to a foreign city. 5 stars if they had a slightly expanded menu.

    Beautiful building

    Decided to try something new and different! Every Thursday is Jazz night. The band sounded great and it was so much fun watching everyone dance. There were some talents out here! The service was good and it was a nice rooftop vibe. The seating is limited so I recommend on come early to grab you a spot outside.

    Outside parking.

    I enjoyed the pizza very much. Great selection of drinks and cocktails served by Armanda, the service is fabulous. The decor and setting is cool. I will return

    Charcuterie Board was amazing. All the pizza's were tasty but nothing over the top or special. The roof top dining was one of the best parts of eating here. The waiter didn't understand what most of us was saying but he got the order right. All in all it was a good experiences for I would come back.

    Blueberry Mule and their signature margarita

    Wow wow wow! Yummy cocktails, awesome food, awesome music and amazing service. Diego, our server, took fantastic care of us!! Would Definitely recommend IVY to others. 10/10!

    Tucked away on the rooftop of Fiori Spa this little gem is amazing!!!! I would come here for the ambiance alone. Houston doesn't have many rooftops so when I heard about this I had to come check it out. On Thursday and Saturday nights they have a live band and on Sunday afternoons there is a Jazz brunch from 10am to 2pm. The bartender was great, I told her I didn't drink so she made me a beautiful, fruity mocktail filled with fresh fruit. We ordered the small charcuterie board and pizza. The charcuterie board was great but the pizza was a little bland. Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend checking them out. I can't wait to go back to experience the evening vibes.

    The food is delicious. I ordered The Ivy. The staff was extremely hopeful and friendly and it's a great place for any occasions, any day.

    First time and definitely coming back!! The cocktails are so creative and fresh! We tried the margherita margarita, horizon, new fashionista, and ciao bello :))) all were so impressive and delicious!! Great vibe and aesthetic! We will be back!

    Tortilla soup with mini panini

    Not gourmet, but SUPER surprised by the quality of food. Member of Fiori and somewhat avoided. Sad I did, because our lunch was great and the pizza looked good as well! Pleasant surprise!

    Cio Bella
    Nancy N.

    Very much a hidden gem! Drinks are awesome, nice chill vibe! I got the Cio Bella and it was so tasty! Has a hint of spice mixed with sweetness, must try! The bartender let me know they have bachata lessons on Friday and Saturday, Jazz on Thursday nights! I will definitely be back!

I ate at Norigami Tuesday night and it was great as were the cocktails served up at the nextdoor bar called Hidden Bar. On Tuesday, I tried the Thai Chili Ginger Margarita ($13) and it was great, complete with a hunk of candied ginger which I "gingerly" consumed throughout my drink experience...see what I did there? Next, I had the Three Dots and a Daiquiri ($13) with Rum, Lime, Velvet Falernum, All Spice and Pineapple and it was very similar to one of my favorite tiki drinks, the Three Dots and a Dash, complete with 3 luxardo cherries. To finish, I had the absolutely incredible Golden Laurel ($16) with Gin, Italicus Bergamot, House Greek Botanical Bitters and Sea Salt. It is equally beautiful served with a clear bay leaf and delicious. Last night, I was guided by the friendly bartender to try the Et Tu Banana" ($15) with Banana Bourbon, Spiced Pear, Creme de Banane, Campari and Citric Acid. I was a little worried about the cocktail being overly banana-y but it wasn't at all. It was a fantastic drink. For my last call, he recommended the Left Hand ($13) with Bourbon, Campari, Sweet Vermouth and Chocolate Bitters. Again, fantastic. Both nights, the bartenders and drinks were fantastic. Ambiance is nice with moody lighting. They even have a bidet toilet seat in the bathroom! Hidden Bar is a "hidden" gem, for sure. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

They even have a selfie ring light on the wall, which is such a fun touch for pictures (because if you didn't take pics, did you even go??) Now--fair warning--we went on a Friday night and it was PACKED. We were lucky enough to find seats, but it was so crowded we could barely talk without yelling, and we were basically shoulder-to-shoulder with the people around us Other than that, it's a really nice spot to grab drinks, hang out with friends, and get some cute content. Would I go again? Yes... just maybe not on a Friday night

As you walk in, you'll be greeted by the 70's/80's/90's bar music of rock/disco and chessboard floor pattern. Then you get your drink order from one of the many pleasant bartenders (or Louie) and sit either inside or outside and think to yourself you're the luckiest person in the world. So they specialize in three things: cocktails/liquors, cigars, and patio seating. When you combine all three of those, it's the perfect bar. Cocktails such as ol fashions and cape cods are plentiful here. I also appreciate they do a new york sour here which is an underrated cocktail. Cigars are sold here too and they have cutters and plenty of torch lighters to spark them up. Outside on their patio deck has plenty of seating with some of those heaters in case you houstonians can't handle the cold. Only gripe is I wish they had a larger wine selection as they only have bordeuax or a red blend. Not sure if they serve white wines either. But there's wine bars for that. You're here for the hard stuff or a quick beer, maybe a cigar, and definitely a peace of mind. That's what keeps me coming back!

So after a few minutes I left the place.

For the past 2 years (Oct '24 and '25), I've visited Cursed Cauldron pop-up at Botonica for their Bewitched Burlesque performance. The ticket price is approachable, and the space is adorably decorated. The performers are all fun and really get into the themes - no 2 performances are the same, either, because they feature different artists each week. There is a special drink menu for the pop-up... they are quite expensive at $16 per cocktail, but they are tasty & they do offer a happy hour until 6pm on weekdays. There are some snacks you can buy at the bar, but I wouldn't recommend having dinner there. I wish they had more witchcraft classes, because the Yule Log class I attended in 2023 was the besssst but I'll continue visiting their pop-ups, regardless. Very festive and lots of fun - especially for the witchy girlies out there!

First, the vibe. It is warm, stylish, and very Montrose in the best way. It feels elevated but still relaxed enough to just sit, talk, and enjoy your time without feeling rushed. We came during happy hour and it was such a great deal. I ordered the Sweet Like Peach Tree, which was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with the peach and ginger. My husband got the Frozen Paloma and it was just as good, super smooth with the right citrus bite. We also shared the churros and they were honestly a must order. Warm, crispy, and paired with Nutella and caramel. What really made the experience stand out though was our bartender, Manny. He was incredibly welcoming from the moment we sat down, had such a great personality, and made the whole experience feel personal. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and that kind of service is hard to find. He also told us about their upcoming two year anniversary party on May 3rd with rotating live DJs, which sounds like it will be such a fun time. We will definitely be back.

So if you don't have a rezy I would suggest getting there at opening. I was hoping to see the DJ as they appear to have a good nightly line up but they were having a private party that night on the other side so the the DJ was only heard when the private room door opened. Otherwise they had a good Deep House mix going in the background. I forgot they the bartenders name, but he was attentive and whipped up some good ones. I started off with a Classic Gibson. You can go wrong here, but he made it perfectly balanced with the onion juice. I also added some spicy Blue Cheese Olives on the side which were unique and tasty.

The vibes are elevated and everything was very picturesque. We were seated at the bar on the outside end near the DJ which worked out great since I think it would have been too loud on the other end. Both cocktails we ordered were super clarified and even the ice was clarified and completely clear. Clean taste and beautiful presentation. My only feedback is that the liquid volume felt a bit low. The glass is smaller than usual with a large ice block in the middle so you can finish the drink pretty quickly. Colada Eclipse ($19): I loved this one. The ube flavor came through really well without being overwhelming. Samurai Supernova ($21): This is the matcha mezcal cocktail with a more muted flavor profile. My husband preferred this one.
